Fantastic piece by Siobhán Dhònnchaidh on the false YIMBY v NIMBY dichotomy.
In response to a nightmarish housing crisis, Keir Starmer has proclaimed himself a ‘YIMBY’ and pledged to back ‘builders’ over ‘blockers’. Instead, we must demand a new era of the ‘PHIMBY’.

Labour are backing build-to-rent to the hilt: Reeves’ first trip as chancellor was to Wall St to woo investors, while Rayner made it central to her new towns plan. But if BtR needs heavy public subsidy, we should be honest about its real impact on renters.

Two-thirds of build-to-rent homes are in London & Manchester. In Manchester, they now make up 1 in 5 rental flats. Rents have surged – Salford, a hub for major BtR schemes, has seen the fastest rent growth of any local authority in England & Wales since 2015

Conventional wisdom – or online YIMBYs – will tell you that it's a matter of supply and demand only. So I looked into where supply was increasing most and alas. hikes in rent growth.

If elected, Zohran and other public officials will have the chance to mobilise public pension capital to deliver for ordinary New Yorkers, instead of inflating Wall Street bonuses and bankrolling the Trump administration. My article in @jacobin.
New York City has the fourth-largest public pension plan in the US, making it one of the world’s foremost institutional investors. Zohran Mamdani and the NYC left could use this as a lever to advance progressive goals. 📰:
